Sharp MX-2300N Color Copier Logo
Anonymous Posted on Aug 28, 2009

Receiving a Communication Network Error on our Sharp MX 2300N only on the weekends. According to the tech this particular machine does not have a setting for work days only, which apparently is optional in some machines. All of our workstations are taken home at night, but the error doesn't happen at night. Not sure if this is a network issue.

    Thank you. I'm an administrator and we don't really have a techy here in our office. As part of our routine we do not turn anything off on Friday nights that aren't turned off during the week day. Is it possible to have something like a router or server shutting down on the weekends by its own schedule that was set?

    I'm not aware of ANY MFP (multi-function printer) that has a week day only option for operation or communication. If your network is shut down during the weekends, the unit will produce a CE error code, as it will be unable to communicate with the server. It sounds like someone's shutting down a switch or router when they leave for the weekend and that's most likely what's generating this error.

Sounds like it's a network issue. If it's a CE-00 error, it's a definite communication error between the copier and the server.

To my best knowledge there are no optional work day on/off settings on this copier. There are power save settings, but nothing to shut them down or denote power save settings for weekends only.

It sounds like something in your server setup is shutting down or disconnecting during the weekends. I'd contact your IT department to find out if they have something set up that could be causing this error specifically for the weekends.

Testimonial: "Thank you this is very helpful."

    If you're on a contract with an outside ISP wherein you only pay for week-day service and not for weekends, this could certainly be causing your problems - especially if your copiers and computers all use this ISP in order to connect to one another.

Sharp mx 2300N error code U2-41

The U2 errors are usually related to memory or board level issues. You should try to disconnect the fax and network and then kill the main power inside the cover. Turn the main power on and then when you get a solid green light on the control panel press that power switch. If the machine boots with everything disconected then try conecting the options one at a time and try rebooting each time to see if you can narrow down the problem.

When was the first mx-2300N distributed where having some print driver issues wondering if its that old to have issue tho

The MX-2300 is only a few years old. If you are having print driver issues it could be the pc or the copier. Think back to what might have changed on your network when the issues started. Have you run any windows updates ? (could cause an issue) Has the driver become corrupted? (reload driver - check www.sharp-usa.com for any updated drivers). Are you using a PCL or PS driver ? Are you having problems with a particular computer or is everyone having a problem ? Can you narrow it down to a particular program or document type? Updating to the new Adobe reader 9 has caused some printing issues - try reverting back to ver 8. Are you experiencing any other kind of general network issue? slow network or intermittent signal drops (losing connection).

We just got an MX-2300N and are trying to set it

I had the same issue the other day when installing one of these machines.
I find it alot easier to enter the details into the machine from it's web interface if you aren't already.. (Simply open your web browser and navigate to your copiers IP address).

If you ping the domain name of your mail smtp server and just get the servers i.p address and enter into the smtp box it should work. The particular one i used didnt need authentication either, give it a whirl and see how it goes.
